Tex is right, sadly.

im more of a country guy, but i want to live downtown to be close to a good job, and for once to experience city life for a bit. coming from my current job its hard to save up money when your pay is not the greatest. so id like to be able to keep my savings away from some high gas prices and all. a loft downtown would be perfect with an overview of a city.

It doesn't snow very much in Seattle, when my family moved there from north Idaho we were astounded to find out that two inches of snow would shut the whole city down. And, smog laws are pretty strict there, you can't use your wood stove on the coldest days because the smoke stays near the ground, increasing pollution.
If the city doesn't have to be too big you might check out Bellingham to the north of Seattle. It's a smaller city, gets a little more snow, and is still wood stove friendly. GLTY.

It has been about 15 years since I was in Lansing, Michagan. I was there attending a professional conference for about a week and had flown in. I was without a car, but never felt that to be any restriction, as I found the local bus system to be outstanding. If their bus system hasn't fallen in quality, Lansing should certainly be worth your consideration.

And I really liked the people of Lansing.
